Aeternum selected the Official positions by simply following my secret criteria, that is also the reason as to why many of the positions in the government that were filled by the Aeternums that were of the first generations that felt the hardship alongside me. Then again since the time has changed it was also the time for the new face to enter the office. And of course ever single person had to fulfill the conditions, Adriana Von Jelina does fulfill that criteria.
“I am honored to be able to be known by Sire President…”.
“Well…you deserved it…that is why I was rather puzzled seeing you here, instead at the Capital…”. (Adriana Von Jelina)
“Haha..the kids were just graduated..so I thought it was better for them to take some time off In the family lands..before letting them follow their dreams..”.(Governess Countess Jelina)
“..that&rs
Since we both know what we want it was easy, I already consider Jelina as one of the person inside my circle of friends, if she said so, I would arranged Adriana as she wanted, after all Adriana is a suitable candidates for the job. There were no need for her to do this, but she still did because in the end habits of her old lifestyle were hard to let go. Also, Genevieve is actually a great writer, which is a person that I greatly need right now to diverse the Entertainment variety at my Radio program.“...Umm…if you said it like that….then I have no choice to follow your Highness Arrangements…”. (Governess Countess Jelina)She make it as if I were the one that forcing her hands. Which at the same time also displayed to the others that she and I had a very good relationship. Jelina were sneaky like that, but she does not offended me in any way, When I were in my good mood I would just let everything slides.
“Then…Shall we get moving?…Jelina…I will visit the Governor Office later after I’ve done with my business…thanks for the welcoming ceremony…also, give some cars for my men to use whilst we were here…”.“Of course, Your Highness…I will no longer bother you…please enjoy your stay here…if you need anything…just tell Lieutenant Colonel Selie, I will do my best to accommodate your needs…”. (Governess Countess Jelina)I Could guess by everyone expression that they were rather down, because they can’t follow me and served me, especially those that were coming with Jelina. But at the same time I also see the waves of relief comes over them, after all serving a President is nerve wrecking, one wrong step, perhaps to them their neck will be separates from their heads. I am not that petty but at the same time I also don’t want to
To them it was small, but actually it was big. The Interior of the Sedan were the same size as the Limousine interior.not only that everything from the seats all the way to the compartment were all meticulously design to matched the vibes of the cars it was like another level of car modifications. I was quite surprised about this change, also I was also surprised that everything were made by the Research and Development Department, that they were the one that made this custom changes. I wonder why they haven’t mention this is their reports, do they think that this kind of discovery were not worth to mentions.With this kind of changes that can be apply to Cars, then there would be so many things that I can improved. So many things that can change easily an accommodates a lot of things. I was rather interested to see the limit of these discoveries, looks like there will be more things for me to discussed with Rafaela later. Me and the Youngsters continues o
After a brief small conversations, with Count Monti and Countess Vinetta, and also a whole strawberry cakes that I ate thanks to Countess Vinetta claimed that she herself that were made it. We went straight to the Residential District that the were my focused of visit. On the way, Count Monti and Garret Monti explained to me every single aspect of the projects, and how they approached it. And it seems that they have heed Resource Department advised to first construct the roads.“I see that the roads constructions and lay out around this Residential district were rather different than those that were usually seen on our usual roads..why is that?..”.“Well…there a reasons for that…since this was the residential area…we have decided that it would be best to downscale the roads a little bit..from 4 lanes to just 2 lanes….Also, since this was the area where there soon will be many to call home…
“You see here…if we continue to build everything like so…the whole place will be just like a Stone city…the overall view of the place would look rather depressing..right?…Since this was the place were many will call home…there need to be some beautification on the area…let just say…people love to stay at the place were it was both neat, safe and also pleasing to the the eyes….”.As I speaking everyone were listening to me hard, the Butlers behinds Count Monti was very fast to pulled out the Maps of the entire projects and also already got his pen and paper ready to take notes.“Let’s see…instead of just using a concrete Divider like this…follow the leads of the roads on the Capital…this rather than 1 meter high just concrete slabs, changed it..to half of it original heights…then designed it to be a planter box, so that you can plant gr
After my direct comment and suggestions was flying every time we visited every part of the Residential Centre, I can see just how they designed the entire thing. They were actually followed closely the already finished Architecture designed. Which is the New City Residential District, but rather than following the design as closely as possible, there a numbers of changes that had been made. Especially at the part where there were barely any type of decorations that were placed. If not for my advise for them to make sure to at least have some greenery, the whole project will be just a stone city.“So you were saying that this whole project were partially inspired by New City Residential District?….so what about the half of it?..”.“”Another half were coming from my own digressions Sire President,…I have been thinking rather quite a lot..after my Father, Count Monti….have decided to undertake the wo
“I am glad that the Library were of used to you…but even so…I were rather intrigue about how you were able to think about these..to me this was rather unheard off an even much more amazing in my eyes..”.Finally the reason as to why I was here the whole time. It was a remarkable views on the Constructions site, there were over thousands of constructions worker here, and on top of that there were also hundred of Constructions heavy machinery which I’ve recognize instantly that were brought from the Resource Department.The most amazing sight were about a Hundred of so, constructions worker that were obviously different and rather specials compared to others, if everyone else were just wearing a bright orange work vase, whilst they were working. These special people were wearing an orange Jumpsuits with neon linings, on top of that instead of carrying tools or constructions materials. They were holding woo
It was a mind opening finding to this type innovations actually, and hearing that the ideas were found by the young minds that were born by my teachings. It was even meaningful to me, this shows that my hard work of shaping the Aeternum society to the better, has started to show it’s results. And the time of seeing Aeternum unique society become and admiration to the whole Fantasma, I am sure that it wont be long that the world will soon become a better place for all.“Congratulations…for be able to discover something like…I can see that what I have been working for…is slowly started to change our Aeternum into a better place for our future…”.“Of course your Highness…we old guys…at first were rather held back…wanting to stay in our old mind set….afraid to lose that measly powers that we once hold….but seeing all this marvelous stuff that can happened beca
Aeternum had taught her a valuable lesson—control is not about force, but manipulation. So, she would make them turn on each other.Helen began summoning the nobles one by one, speaking to them in private meetings. She whispered honeyed words into their ears.“Viscount Talis, I need a reliable man. Duke Rehn is plotting against me, and I require your loyalty.”“Countess Ferros, your influence is invaluable. I fear Duke Rehn is siphoning funds, and I need someone I trust to investigate.”“Duke Rehn, the other nobles are moving against you. You must act swiftly before they remove you from power.”With every meeting, seeds of distrust were sown.The nobles—drunk on greed—were too blind to see that they were being played.And so, one by one, they began to conspire against each other.As the nobles scrambled to destroy each other, Helen’s true loyalists made their move.Under the cover of darkness, handpicked assassins carried out eliminations with precision.Duke Rehn?Found dead in his s
“Then Mies will destroy Hallerus.”Helen turned sharply toward him. “You think he would go that far?”Merrica didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”Helen stared at him, searching for a lie. A hint of hesitation. But there was none.“He will not give you mercy a second time, Helen,” Merrica said. “If those nobles push for war, if they even dare to challenge Aeternum—you will lose.”He took another step forward, his voice heavy. “And I will not be able to protect you.”For the first time in their conversation, Helen looked away. Merrica saw it. The fear. The realization.She already knew everything he was saying was true. She had just been too proud—too trapped—to admit it.Silence hung between them. Then, at last, Helen spoke.“…What do you want me to do?”Merrica finally allowed himself a small sigh of relief.“You already know what must be done, Helen,” he said gently. “You must take back your court.”Helen slowly nodded, though her expression remained grim. “Those nobles will not leave peace
“Merrica understands that if Hallerus moves against Aeternum, we won’t hold back.”Kasuma gave a knowing smirk. “And you won’t hesitate to destroy them.”I met her gaze, unblinking.“No.”A heavy silence fell between us.Kasuma leaned forward, her voice softer but firm. “You don’t want war with Hallerus.”“No, I don’t,” I admitted. “The people of Hallerus don’t deserve to suffer for their queen’s mistakes. Merrica doesn’t deserve to be put in that position.”Kasuma studied me for a moment before sighing. “Then let’s hope Duke Merrica succeeds.”I ran a hand through my hair, my thoughts swirling. Visma was controlled. Chaos was their prison, and we held the keys. Hallerus, however, was different.It was once an ally, a friend, a brother. But betrayal had shattered that bond. Still… I didn’t want to be the one to crush it completely. I drummed my fingers on my desk. If Helen could be saved, then perhaps—A knock interrupted my thoughts.“Enter,” I called.An ACIA officer stepped in, bowi
The Merchant Guild Leader, Darvio Vinn, who had profited the most from blocking Aeternum trade. His warehouses stored inferior goods at premium prices, keeping the economy strangled in his grip.The General of the Royal Army, Lionel Ferin, who had bled the treasury dry with excessive military spending, preaching about “independence” while weakening their forces with outdated tactics.They had to be removed. One by one, quietly, without causing suspicion. But how? Merrica could not simply accuse them—Helen trusted them. If he moved too boldly, she would see him as the enemy.No, he had to be careful. He had to play the game. Merrica stood, pouring himself another glass of wine. He would begin by exposing the corruption—turning the people against the parasites that fed on Hallerus.The merchants would learn how Darvio Vinn had been overpricing basic goods. The military officers would see how General Lionel Ferin had been wasting funds on obsolete strategies. The court would hear whisper
At a local tavern, I overheard a group of soldiers drunkenly complaining."Our weapons are old.""Our rations taste like pig slop.""Did you hear? Even Alemia is receiving Aeternum goods now.""We should have never broken ties."I smirked. They knew. Their queen had failed them, and their nation was falling behind while the rest of the world thrived under Aeternum’s soft power. The people of Hallerus were not fools. They saw the rising prosperity of the allied nations, the luxurious goods, the technological marvels, the entertainment, the food. They could only watch in envy.At sunset, I met with Duke Merrica Murrs at his estate. His once-proud posture had been replaced with exhaustion. His eyes, which once held confidence, now carried deep regret.We sat in his grand study, the silence stretching between us. Finally, he spoke."I should have stopped her."I said nothing."I vouched for her. I believed in her." He exhaled, shaking his head. "And now, my people suffer because of my mis
Meanwhile, in Yulga, Maria sat comfortably in her study, reading the latest reports.Lysander stood beside her, amused. "Another assassin failed. This is getting predictable."Maria smirked. "Vismal thinks he’s playing chess, but he’s only moving pawns."She set down her glass, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Let him keep trying. Let him think he has control.""And when he finally realizes he doesn’t?" Lysander asked.Maria leaned back, exhaling softly. "By then, he won’t be king anymore."While King Vismal wasted his energy plotting assassinations, he failed to see the true danger.His nobles squabbled over the black market. His people secretly craved Aeternum goods. His own soldiers whispered of defecting.Visma was rotting from the inside out. And Maria? She simply watched it happen. She wasn’t just controlling the black market. She was controlling Visma’s fate. One failed assassination at a time.King Vismal III believed he could eliminate Maria Yulga. He believed he could take
"Oi, you got the stuff?""Yeah, yeah, keep it down!"A merchant nervously looked around before handing over a carefully wrapped package."This is the good stuff—straight from Aeternum. Papa Pizza’s special cheese blend. Got it from a merchant who knows a guy who knows a guy."The buyer, a Visma noble in disguise, snatched it eagerly."Finally! I’ve been dying to try this! You have no idea how boring Visma’s food is compared to Aeternum’s cuisine!""Yeah, yeah, pay up first.""Fine, fine—how much?""Two hundred gold pieces."The noble nearly choked. "T-Two hundred?! That’s robbery!"The merchant smirked. "And yet, you’re still going to pay it, aren’t you?"The noble gritted his teeth, but handed over the money anyway. Aeternum’s products were so desirable that people were willing to spend fortunes just to get a taste.And that was exactly what ACIA wanted. By controlling the underground economy, Aeternum achieved multiple goals:Economic Control – Even though Visma banned Aeternum’s pr
The people were asking too many questions. The smugglers were getting bolder. Even their own guards and soldiers were caught listening to Aeternum’s broadcasts in secret. A revolution wasn’t just coming—it was being broadcast live.In an attempt to regain control, the non-allied nations did the only thing they knew how to do—They cracked down. Massive raids were conducted in the dead of night. Entire villages were searched. Merchants were arrested. Radios were smashed in public squares.But no matter how many products they confiscated, no matter how many smugglers they punished, it didn’t stop. Aeternum’s influence was already too deep. The people had tasted the forbidden fruit—and they weren’t about to let go of it.What made matters worse was that not everyone in power was loyal to the cause. Behind closed doors, even high-ranking nobles were secretly buying Aeternum’s products for themselves. Some were sneaking off to allied territories under the guise of “diplomatic visits” just s
Aeternum had always been known for its technological marvels and superior products, but with easy transportation, its goods became more accessible than ever before.From freshly preserved gourmet food to luxurious household items, Aeternum’s influence began to seep into every aspect of daily life across the continent. And the people? They loved it. Why eat old, stale bread when you could have Aeternum’s fresh-baked soft rolls that lasted for weeks without losing their taste?Why wear itchy, poorly-made foreign garments when you could buy Aeternum’s finely woven, stain-resistant fabrics? Even Aeternum’s entertainment industry was making waves. With their crystal-powered moving pictures, stories from Aeternum began flooding into neighboring lands, captivating audiences with rich tales of adventure, romance, and heroism.It wasn’t just about selling goods anymore. Aeternum was selling a way of life. And everyone wanted in.But not everyone was pleased. The non-allied nations watched in d
